How Do I Add a Countdown Timer to My Email?

More and more companies are using countdown timers in their emails, so we have added the ability to include them in your HyperDrive CRM Pro emails. Countdown timers are dynamic, attention-grabbing, and fun to use. You can integrate these timers to encourage subscribers to snag a last-minute deal, register for a workshop, watch an event, and more.

1. Design The Email Template

Create your email or use one of our templates to get started.

 

2. Add Countdown Timer to Template

Click the blue "Countdown Timer" to set up the details of your timer. If you are adding a timer for the first time, you can drag and drop the "Countdown Timer" from the Content Tab to the section of your email you want to include it.

 

3. Adjust Timer Settings

Set up the Timer the way you want it to look. You can add your date and time and also modify the fonts, colors and shadows, etc. Once you have this the way you want it, click "Save".

 

4. Adjust Timer Appearance in Email

Once your timer is in your email, click the timer to set up any further information. In the content properties you can change the width, the alignment, add any actions or links to the timer, etc. 

Click the blue "Countdown Timer" button here to go back to the time set up.

 

That's it. Now your email will include a dynamic timer that is specific to when the user opens the email!
